Imagine this lazy bit from action flicks, when two guys shoot at the same time, just to both get hit and then whine on the ground. Just on a *grand scale*.
I want to see both sides grind each other down. Supporting one side over the other may temporarily repair relations (maybe the Taliban might temporarily cede Bagram to us or some such), but when the dust settles, expect the side(s) we backed to turn those guns against us again.
Too credible? Arm both sides. Worry about the consequences later. Flood both pipelines with so many weapons even the CCP can't get a word in.
Just funnel weapons to the Taliban through India. Taliban grows closer to India and and Iran starts to hate India. Taliban become a permanent thorn in China’s side
Simeon Weisz : I don't think you and I are in the same business, you think I just sell guns don't you? I don't, I take sides.
Yuri Orlov : But in the Iran Iraq war you sold guns to both sides.
Simeon Weisz : Did you ever consider I wanted both sides to lose? Bullets change governments for surer than votes. You're in the wrong place my young friend, there's no place for amateurs.

Don't arm either of them, let Tehran scrape together their one nuke and use it on Kabul... then let the Taliban start a proper Jihad against Iran and finally when the dust settles leave them the fuck alone because no good comes from that region
Arming nobody is probably the correct option, however I could see an argument for threatening to arm the Taliban unless Iran knocks it the fuck off with supplying Russia.
Doesn't Iran have nukes? Let them do the funni first and then when they use up all of their nuclear devices (both of them) only after join and "de-escalate" the situation.
Arm Afghanistan. They've already got NATO levels of interoperability as far as the equipment goes. Just gotta give them some spare parts and more ammo.
Arm both and enjoy the shitshow.
*CIA liked this*
CIA wants to know your location
Langley, Virginia *”the call is coming from inside HQ”*
Uhh uhh uhh uhm this is all a Russia psyop to instigate inaction.
Arm none of them and enjoy the even shittier show
Let them destroy each other. Its basically what we did with Iran and Iraq between 1980-88.
*laughs in British*
I hear Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North is an expert on this type of setup.
Battle royale style airdrops with random weapon systems.
Imagine this lazy bit from action flicks, when two guys shoot at the same time, just to both get hit and then whine on the ground. Just on a *grand scale*.
Arm Iranian citizens, help them to rise up fully armed at the same time.
I fully support this
*Tehran suddenly wondering how thier civilians got stingers*
You can pick up Stingers in any military surplus store duh...
*Lord of War has entered the chat*
There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear
Based answer.
3000 stengun airdrops of Dark Brandon
Langley gets a call from the old Northern Afghanistan warlords saying they're ready to ride again for the third time.

Damn now I want the India-Israel-Afghanistan vs Iran-Pakistan war how could you do this to me!
Arm both. War is good for business. Glory to the MIC!
Ferengi Rules of Aquisition #34: war is good for business. Ferengi Rules of Aquisition #35: peace is good for business.
War for our customers, and peace for us
Like the good old days after 9/11
Wait, 9/11 was bad!
Let’s debate this on the roof
This is the way.
Both How else a honest warmonger is supposed to pay for his morgue?

Both, both is good
The enemy of my enemy is still a cunt.
Bomb both into oblivion
Let them fight it out for a while, then 3rd party the war and take everything
My dear brother, we are talking about Afghanistan. What is there that any sane first world country would want to take?
Our dignity back
Don't arm either of them, let Tehran scrape together their one nuke and use it on Kabul... then let the Taliban start a proper Jihad against Iran and finally when the dust settles leave them the fuck alone because no good comes from that region
I'd never imagine i would see Iran substitute their f-14 with f-35
if only both of them could lose
talibani can't do anything but war, let them win and see how they ruin themselves into small little factions that fight themselves.
Give war a chance Jack!
arm both of course
Ah I see, you’re a man of culture as well.
the gods gave you 2 hands for a reason: to provoke the persian forever wars by arming both sides.
Arm neither. Let them beat each other up until they get bored.
Nah that’s boring, funnel weapons to both sides and watch them destroy each other.
Kinda in between just bombing both or letting them do it to themselves.
Distractions. Arm the Turkish secular revolutionaries who will dethrone Islam and rebuild the republic with their own sweat and blood. /s
Arm nobody and send it to ukraine, let them enjoy the ak-47 duels.
Probably Taliban, they probably need it more. Also Taliban losing will change nothing to the world while iran losing is a big deal.

Me, an American citizen: aw shit. Here we go again

Both. Both is good. But kill any stragglers that try to move weapons away from the conflict.
As is tradition, arm whoever starts losing to prolong the conflict.
Arming nobody is probably the correct option, however I could see an argument for threatening to arm the Taliban unless Iran knocks it the fuck off with supplying Russia.
“This post is dedicated to the brave mujahedin fighters in Afghanistan”
Instruction unclear, bombing Greenland instead

No they do not. They are working towards making them if they make them expect Israel to come in with the steel chair.
Sir, this is non-credible defence. For funni.
Arm Afghanistan. They've already got NATO levels of interoperability as far as the equipment goes. Just gotta give them some spare parts and more ammo.
You arm anyone who can pay.
Arm a nuclear state, or give the opportunity for terrorists to become *nuclear* terrorists.
Arm the Kurds
Iraq-Afghanistan dual pronged invasion over water?
Arm whoever is losing at the moment
Arm whomever seems to be losing that month and keep it going for about 10 years.
Arm whoever is losing at the moment. That way the fight lasts longer.
Sit back and watch 🍿
Arm them both. That way, when they are finished killing each other, we can say we were arming the winning side
